Hi Sean,

You may want to look at CommandShell class>>makeVmIn: for some more
ideas on how extend this sort of procedure using CommandShell/OSProcess
scripts. The methods for VM building were written for a much earlier
version of VMMaker and they are now out of date, but you can treat
them as examples to get some ideas as to how to do it with newer
VM build configurations.

The #if:then:else: and #script:onFailureDo: methods are useful if
you are automating a series of build steps and want to be able to
stop the script when one of the steps fails (for example, if you run
an external program and it exits with non-zero exit status).
